Here's an article discussing a recent law change here in NZ banning phones from schools. The upshot seems to be that more normal human relationships come back pretty quickly, although this is still very recent so it's hard to tell definitively.

Amazing. Adaptation at work. Hard to believe how well that went. Bookmarked for further research, thanks. Maybe that explains a deep fear latent in the tech industry. That in reality someone could say "Enough. No more smartphones!", and a whole generation could just turn around and say "Okay. No worries. What's next?"
